73 percent reported this source of income and ranged from 67 percent of the

3-member families to 80 percent of the 5-member families.

 Higher incomes from nonfarm employment, generally speaking, were

found more frequently among the medium-sized families than among the small or

large families (Table 82). The number of 1- and 2-member households earning

$3,000 or more from nonfarm employment was considerably less than proportional

to the total number of these households reporting this income source. The

reverse was true for 3-, 4-, and 5-member households. The number of households

with 6 or more members earning over $3,000 was almost proportional to the total

number of households in these size groups.
